New Sunday, new surprise! This time has been Inter to upset all the predictions about Serie A’s weekend. The game at San Siro, in fact, has seen Pioli’s team defeat Atalanta with a 7-1 win. Besides Icardi and Banega’s hat-tricks, it was the ex Gagliardini to add the last goal of a match that will be remembered for a long time.
Said that, it’s important to reassure Atalanta’s supporters, because this hasn’t been the first time - and won't’ be the last one - that a game ends with such an embarrassing outcome. Let’s see some of the games that had a 7-1 result.
2016/2017 Serie A: Bologna v Napoli 1-7
The achievement to realize (and suffer) 7 goals already happened this year: Sarri’s team, in fact, conquered the Dall’Ara stadium thanks to Mertens and Hamsik’s hat-tricks, and the goal by Lorenzo Insigne.
2014/2015 Champions League Group Stage: Roma v Bayern Monaco 1-7
It was a clamorous victory by the Bavarian, thanks to a perfect game they destroyed the Giallorossi with one of the most rolling results in the Champions League.
2006/2007 Champions League Quarter-finals: Manchester United v Roma 7-1
The Giallorossi had another bad night in the Champions League, this time at the Theatre of Dreams of Manchester. In that occasion, Roma suffered seven goals by a stunning United, which could still count on a young - and yet devastating - Cristiano Ronaldo.
2014 World Cup Semi-final: Brasil v Germany 1-7
One of the most unexpected outcomes in the history of football: Brazil, without Neymar and Thiago Silva, suffered a true humiliation at home, with 7 goals conceded to the Germans, that will overcome Messi’s Argentina in the final thanks to Mario Götze's goal in the extra time.
